Personally, I'd argue the opposite: AI today is super impressive compared to what it was 15 or 30 years ago.
There used to be a time when one could rightfully dismiss new cool things AI with "meh, wake me up when an AI beats a professional Go player on a 19x19 board". Because doing so requires an AI that displays intuition and use of heuristics (Go moves tend to have both local/tactical and global/strategic consequences on the board) rather than one that merely brute forces its way through a decision tree.
The fact that one actually did recently is nothing short of game-changing in my view. It matters little that an AI doesn't demonstrably understand meaning or fully grasp intent. Plus, when one does, we'll arguably have (or not be too far from) a strong AI that, I would gather, won't be too impressed with our own human-level thinking. :-)
